About this title

Synopsis

HIGHLIGHT

Design more elegant programs by mastering the Clojure programming

language and the philosophy behind it.

DESCRIPTION

Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java

Virtual Machine. The Joy of Clojure goes beyond the syntax, and

shows how to write fluent, idiomatic Clojure code. Readers will learn

to approach programming challenges from a Functional perspective

and master the Lisp techniques that make Clojure so elegant and

efficient.

According to the authors, there's a "right way" to do things in Clojure.

This book will help readers think about problems the "Clojure way,"

and recognize when they simply need to change the way they program.

Not just another book about programming philosophy, The Joy of

Clojure tackles hard software areas like concurrency, interoperability,

performance, and more.
